beardless boy who makes his bread

usual, over looking at the sentiment
tai affair in so practical u light. his
objections were finally overruled, and
he consented to talk.
"Ne and my girl take in all the mu-

cluded to-day. The accused was found
guilty and sentenced to three months i'm.

the Judgment of the court was given. AT
the opening ut the trial MIR, Carseno, coun-
sci for the Crown, complained to the
Judge that MIR. Launer, member OF Parlia-
ment, had written the court and called
him mean, ruliianly coward and had
expressed hope that his head might be
broken. The court made note of the

constitution. AT this point the judge
stopped MIR, O'Brien saying the discussion
of politics would not be allowed In the
proceedings, Mr. OBrien thereupon de,
clared he was the chosen representative
of the Irish people and would advocate
free speech. The court again stouped
him, O'Brien In his speech OF defense
said the Crown was guilty Of having sup
pressed the evidence favorable 10 him The
crown had withheld, for instance the
notes made by the head constable Of the
defendants speech. In these notes he
said was recorded his statement that the
Irish party would give the land bill fair
play. Continuing. 0Brien justified his
defense of the kingstown tenants on
the ground that evictions against them
were commenced Just on the passage OF
the land bill, and thus an attempt was
made TO defraud the poor, wretched ten.

HOME RULE.
John Dillon Hopeful FOR the Success OF
the Cause.

LIMERICK, Sept. 20.--John Dillon pre-.
sided at a great meeting held in the town
hall under the auspices Of the National
League. The hall was crowded. Dillon
made the speech Of the day and dwelt .!

would doubtless be condemned as felon.
but IL so he would have the sympathy OF
the whole civilized world The govern
ment must not Dillon continued, think
they can crush the League by the means
resorted TO. Each arrest of that kind
would add but fresh courage and spirit to
the people Of Ireland in their struggle for
home rule, increase the gulf Of separation
between landlords and pupulace and put
new fuel into the fire now bnrning. The
United States of America, Dillon declared,
was now back of the British home rule
movement.
Dillon urged the farmers OF Ireland to
subscribe more literally to the Leagues
eviction fund and declared that the mem
bers of the National party lad unanimous
w determined on a plan Of campaign
which had ameliorated and improved the
condition of tenants on every estate on
which IL had been adopted.
The proclamation makes IL criminal to
c0nvoke, hold or publish meetings, or to
do anything in connection with the
League The Nationalist leaders were
hurriedly consulted as to what measures
shall be taken.

THE CHOLERA,
The Quarantine VIII Prove EGcc-
tive. FL

New YoRK. Sept 24--J. Ter Kuile,
the general agent Of the Favri line, said
this morning that he had given orders
last night for three days provisions to be
sent TO the Hoffman and Swinburne
Islands, where the passengers Of the
Alesia, which brought the cholera to this
country, are being kept. Mr. Ter Kuile
was Of the opinion that the passengers
would have to be quarantined for eight
or ten days and that after that there need.
be no fear Of further infection. Mr.. Ter
Kuilc places great confidence In the
ability of DIR. Smith and the quarantine
officials to pre-. ent the spread OF the
scourge. He said that the passengers
baggage would have TO be very thorough
ly fumigated, as considerable danger
would have TO be feared from that source.
Three Of the cases will probably prove
fatal. The others have more or less
chances Of recovery. The balance Of the
passengers, and crew. with the exccp-
ticn Of three cabin passengers, numbering
551, are under supervision on Hoffman 8
Island at the expense Of the steamship
Company. Should no new cases occur
the quarantine will be raised in eight or
ten days.

of the case. have no concern with the
question of sympathy with the anarchists
or their cause. | am retained simply as

supreme court to reverse the decision Of
the Illinois court. Just what will be the

Of the jury. This law has been in opera
ton since 1878, and has not yet been pass.

Of Illinois relating to conspiracy will not

This is the only epidemic known of.
"Diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles,

though cases occur here. Acute pneu-

malarial fever are very rare and are

healthiest city in the world, and
Southern California is unsurpassed in
a sanitary point of view as place of
residence and home for invalids.

"As regards the death rate in Los
